Carlie and Lacey Parga, ages 5 and 8, were walking their dog Lucy, when she (much bigger and stronger than they) caught a scent in the woods and pulled them off the path. The girls were gone for two hours when their dad and neighbors began searching fruitlessly for them.

One of the neighbors was Carvin Young, the owner of a 3-year-old chihuahua named Bell with whom the girls played almost every day. Once brought along on the search, Bell led them to the girls, who were scared but unharmed. Yay, Bell!

For the fucking record, I accidentally clicked on Hero Dogs of 9/11 when I was trying to get the link for you guys, and this is what I look like now.
